Just Things

My little bug, is not so little anymore.  She started pre-k last week and seems to be doing very well.  Granted, she is a little bit ahead of what is being done in the class.  They are working on drawing straight lines and curved lines and following directions on coloring sheets.  She has done all that for awhile now in daycare.  While she was home with me over the summer she learned how to right her name.  But the class will catch up to that very quickly I'm sure.  The one thing she is expressing a displeasure with is taking naps.  She just doesn't like to nap.  But, she is at least keeping quiet and resting with the other children.

My piglet is finally gaining some teeth.  At 19 months old she's finally popping out numbers 5 and 6.  I hear it is fairly normal for some kids to start teething so late -- i just didn't expect it as Jess's teeth came in so early and fast.  She is toddling around like a big girl now.  Running and climbing and copying her big sister all of the time.  She is such a darling little girl, with a very even temperment.  I'm not sure I could have had any more differences between the two.  Erica is starting to talk now as well.  I can already see the language explosion starting to take place.  Granted, "daddy","doggy" and "guy" al seem to sound the same and refer to the same thing. It will come.

Over the summer we visted down in Texas for a couple weeks. We had a visit from Grandma Helen as well as Uncle Robin,Aunt Tammy and cousins Matthew, Ian, and Jeff. We also spent a week down in Hilton Head, where Jess really started learning how to dog paddle well. It was a good summer overall.  I just wish that I had sat down and writen about it all then.
